Shower tray repair in Bescar without replacing anything
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we’re called out for in Bescar
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chipped corners or rims
- A crack across the base
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from Bescar
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Bescar. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
